Division of Work: MADY: KEYNOTE CORIE: STUDY GUIDE LYDIA: GAME
GROUP RUBRIC:
-Overall knowledge of chapters (20)
-Cohesiveness of questions & answers (20)
-Minimum of Thirty Minutes(10)
Total group points: 50. Individual is 100.
DUE: NOVEMBER 26, 8 AM SHARP!
Total Time: 70 minutes. Mady: ??minutes. Corie: 35 Minutes Lydia: 10minutes. It is important that EVERYONE is here on the day of our presentation and nobody is late so we can start right away.
Make sure you answer all parts of the question. Ask me if you have any questions BEFORE the game starts.
Rules of the Game
The game is simple. You will be divided up into three groups. These groups have already been decided and you can not change these groups around. However, in the beginning, for 1 minute, the group must choose an appropriate team name. As the leader (in this case, Lydia) will call out questions, the group that knows the answer first must do five jumping jacks (each) and stand in front of me. I will have a book placed in front of me so that the group members will lightly place their hand on the book, which is the code to speak. I will ask ANY random member in your group what the answer is regardless of which group member touched the book. Thus, before each group member does five jumping jacks, it is essential that ALL group members know the answer, not just one. If the group does not answer the question correctly, the other groups have the chance to answer the question depending on which group does 5 jumping jacks fastest (that is--each group member). After the correct answer does come out, I will elaborate a bit more after their answer if needed. If NOBODY in the room knows the answer, then I we will discuss the answer to that question. I will be keeping track of the score on the board with tally marks. The group with the most points will receive a prize.
Remember...
*Each group MEMBER must do five jumping jacks AND must know the answer
*There will be a piece of tape that all group members must stand behind.
*Nobody is allowed to be violent at any point in time.

How To Win
The group that answers the most questions correctly without cheating (meaning not doing jumping jacks, pushing other people, etc.) will be the winner. They must help their group members and work together, for all group members must know the answer to each question. The group that has won will have successfully won/interpreted Mark Twain’s humor! :)
